Democratic Convention to-day was no
largely attended, there being some thirty
nine votes cast. At the Corporation Con
vention tonight there was large crowd
and the nominations passed off rapidly
There is always one thing noticeable
about Democratic conventiOns-you cal
almost always tell without attending jus
who the officers of the convention will be
Then there seems to be drag in the pro
ceedings, as though the participants wer,
doing something they were ashamed of
...... The Prohibition Convention at the
Town House tonight was one of consid
cradle size and business vim. L. May
was Chairman, and made rousiDe
speech. There were some fifty or sixty
votes cast in the nominations. =. Mrs
Jessie Schellenger has new girl baby
80. Green Shumate is. in town. -. "A
cow belonging to A. w. Long gave birth
to twin calves day or two ago -. Mrs

the winter. The fruit seems to be all
right yet, though there is some complain
ing.
THURsDAY.-A little warmer again.
Joseph Lewis, of Raysville, called to-day.
......Our old friend John G. Stevenson,
of Liberty Township, called this after
noon. Stevenson is one of the men we
are always glad to meet. Harrison
Horton, of Banner, called. -. Political
discussions are red-hot to-day. "A

the mud. =. The old soldiers have fair

The sparrows have opened the Spring

of young folks went to the Kesinger

pleasant time and speak highly of their
treatment by their country friends, and
of the exercises of the school. -. Doug.
Mclaughlin, of Waverly, is here.......
Mrs. Cochran was taken to the asylum
to-day. This is singularly sad case, as
Mr.. and Mrs. Cochran had pleasant,
happy home, both are members of the
church, aand the future seemed bright to
them. 1t is thought that excessive study
on the subject of religion unsettled her
mind. Mr.. Cochran, who is an indus

the sympathy of the community in his
trouble. -. Our merchants report larger
sales for the month of March than for the

School Examiners in session. The

dences of conduct on the part of some of
our Republican friends which points to
trouble in the party in the near future
Men who have long been seeking office
in the party are fighting candidate on
the ticket because he is supposed to have
worked against one of them. This pay
ing of political grudges ought to be done
away with. It's too much like child's
play.

will tell you all about the private as well
as public life of each candidate, and every
prominent citizen.
SUNDAY.-A lovely Spring day.
We called at the new ore mines of Miles
Jones on the west side of town this after
noon. There is wonderful amount of
ore in this great hill, and it is being un-
earthed rapidly. Mr.. Loft is still getting
out lots of it on his side, and good store
of it is being mined on Jones land. This
is the old Jimmy johnson farm. and still
earlier the Newton farm. The cream
cry has not advanced further than the
foundation yet. There has been some de-
lay in securing the requisite lumber for
the building, but the work will be pushed
as rapidly as possible. The road be-
tween town and the Charley Dickson
farm is in a terribly rough condition..
